Spanning the years 1975–1981, Pierre Toutain-Dorbec’s visits with the Imazighen people who live in the Imilchil region, led to a visual record and testament to a pastoral way of life attuned to the cyclical flux of seasons, to the rhythms of nature herself. This exquisite black-and-white collection reflects a chronologically compressed life in the day of the Imazighen, underscored by the interior narratives and silent stories implied in a stunning montage of portraits, while also capturing the grit, symmetry and high-desert mystique of the resident landscape.

In his book, Toutain-Dorbec shares his experiences related to documenting unconscious life. The writing that inspires the dream, and the one that is born from it, and spawns it in return. I'm talking about the dream, the construction of the abstraction in the unconsciousness state, thinking that seeks to escape the constraints of the real. Toutain-Dorbec utterly liberate writing overcomes all creative blockages and underlines the off-standard or even anti-normative character of this book.

She discovers it filled with cowboy charm, ancient Native American pueblos, the Rio Grande and the Santa Fe Railroad, towering mesas, buffalo, hidden arroyos, juniper, piÑon and cottonwood trees. There is a great diversity of landscapes and plant life on Earth, and nowhere is this more dramatic than in the American Southwest. The photographs of Claudia Toutain-Dorbec are about her relationship with the natural world. She approaches her botanical subjects as a portrait, creating images that are forceful, meaningful and beautiful. She walks a tightrope between the real and mystical. Her wilderness is trodden, yet she accepts it as it is: worthy of exploration. Perfect. Imperfect.

Through his masterful use of light, shadow, faded tints, and the dry plate technique, he conveys the raw emotions of those affected by the invasion with an unflinching intensity. The absence of human presence in the pictures adds to the unsettling feeling that the viewer is witnessing something deeply disturbing. Each image evokes a sense of foreboding and unease, serving as a stark reminder of the chaos and distress that innocent people experience in such a situation. By capturing the emotional toll of conflict, Toutain-Dorbec encourages us to confront the harsh realities and work towards a more peaceful world. One notable aspect of Toutain-Dorbec’s photography is his intentional omission of captions or explanations. Rather than imposing his assessment, the photographer allows each image to stand on its own, inviting the viewer to engage and construct their particular narrative based on their distinct experiences and perspectives. This approach creates a space for a more personal and reflective engagement with the impact of war on human lives. By leaving interpretation up to the observer, Toutain-Dorbec’s work challenges us to consider the individual stories and experiences that are often overlooked in discussions of conflict.

His photographs will undoubtedly become part of the collective memory of the Russian invasion and its consequences for civilians. His photographs show people who will be forced to live with war for decades to come. This war may change Ukrainians in ways that are difficult to predict. They are, however, more than victims; they are survivors who give us a glimpse into human strength and humanity when faced with death and destruction—people seeking comfort in music, arts, and relationships with their family, neighbors and complete strangers. The photographs show that life with war also means life with marriages, births, work, and all that life can offer. As such the photographs are a message of hope and an invitation to pause and reflect on each page.

How good it was to stroll in Rome again, and at that time, with my wife!” “There is a strange, countering tension within each of these poems, between feeling inelastic and liberated all in the same instance. I'm reminded of Eugenio Montale and Giuseppe Ungaretti, of their strict formalism and their earthbound stakes that open nevertheless into the imagined above and then again into the spheres of demons and saints.” Christopher Hassett Paperback: 86 pages ISBN: 978-1-7360311-5-5 Dimensions: 5.51 x 0.23 x 8.5 inches Language: English https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8613adfac4812baa154c6b/1602873519437-JUC29ISDTAEHKZ1GZBRV/Varanasi+by+Pierre+Toutain-Dorbec+ISBN+9781937487959.jpg The Books - Varanasi: Or the Perpetual Negation of Self Pierre Toutain-Dorbec's book of poems and photographs on Varanasi, India, is a stunning tribute to one of the world's oldest cities.

"Once I smelled Varanasi's dust, a veil of death smothered my ignorance and my knowledge of perpetuity runs wild. Deeply moved, I write and photograph with a new awareness of life."

In the same way, beyond her camera and experience, the unique vision that Claudia Toutain-Dorbec brought there shines through in her lavish creations of color and form. "Personal, novel, philosophical, poetic" - these are the ways French curator Nicole Zapata-Aubé sees Claudia's work. And they are the links as well between her own photographic artistry and the beauty that both inspired and was brought to life by Claude Monet.

Venice. The Queen of the Adriatic, the City of Masks, the City of Bridges, La Serenissima. This multi-faceted Italian treasure was Pierre Toutain-Dorbec’s sanctuary and home-away-from-home, spanning the years 1968-2005, while he kept an apartment there from 1995-2000. Now, as both a chronologically diverse testament to the culture and complexion of Venice, as well as a valentine and homage to the city that’s been Toutain-Dorbec’s mistress and muse, comes this book of intimate “souvenirs.” Photographs, poems, and short stories reflect and honor the Floating City from countless angles and perspectives, while indelibly juxtaposing the classic and the modern, the timeless and the ephemeral. Metamorphosing Venice is one man’s inspired love-letter and tribute to a city that continues to exist as an immutable feast for the senses. https://www.csfpublishing.com/zines daily 0.75 2023-04-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8613adfac4812baa154c6b/cbffa55a-a579-4ab8-9e06-d4638af9190c/In-Rust-I-Trust---Zine-ISBN-978-0-9802432-2-2.jpg The Zines - In Rust I Trust "Rust is irresistible. Like kisses, it is transient; like memory, it is crumbling. Photography has another job. The images are caught, captured with no further change. Moment against motion, in this case the slow dissolve of a car in New Mexico or the more rapid dissolution in the wet climes of Oregon. Car bodies, color, and time are the themes. The photographic method brings a saturated aesthetic pleasure. As soon as I heard the title of this new collection of Pierre Toutain-Dorbec’s work, I was hooked. We both inhabit the Rio Grande watershed, where old car bodies are used to shore up the banks of arroyos, our dry washes. When the monsoon season comes, the power of the flash floods is legendary. The rusting carcasses are iconic, our attempt to hold back the river of time though we know we can’t. Pierre Toutain-Dorbec sees that the double-edged beauty in wreck and decay is not a contradiction. I, too, walk these arroyos and fall in love with the old car bodies. They are beings with soul, a byproduct of that lost America, yet they live on. Pierre lives in an America populated by these rusting cars, in northern New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, and Oregon where he travels widely. Pierre hones in on the abstraction of decay, a painterly glaze here, a hood ornament there. He combines the eyes of a sculptor and of a photographer to encourage us to see the alchemy of rust, oxidation that occurs on an atomic level.."

Some changed my life and others nudged me in a new direction, or, at the very least, opened my mind to something new. Living in Ukraine recently was a big tipping point for me, it opened doors I hardly imagined previously, including internalizing the Ukrainian plight. Recently, photographs we sent to friends in Ukraine were lost in the mail. Our friends went back to the post office again and insisting they search their mail storage, unbelievably, they were found. This episode was a small tipping point and reminded me of the photographs you see here. Taken with my Holga cameras, they were previously set aside for a bigger and more important project and I forgot about them. Some make me smile, some make me sad. They evoke wonderful memories of my time in Ukraine, despite the war, and the remarkable spirit of the Ukrainian people.” Claudia Toutain-Dorbec A limited edition zine of 100 signed copies by the
